Oakland’s Cat Town Café: The race is on for North America’s first cat café « Oakland Local

Undoubtedly, the Internet has been good to cats. A bit of a chicken-and-egg quandary, it’s hard to definitively say if cat-love drives cyberspace, or if cyberspace drives users to new-found levels of cat-love.

One thing is certain: Oakland is not afraid to embrace both cats and the Internet. The success of last year’s CatVidFest, an event that both celebrated cats of the Internet and helped local felines, made sure that it will be back on Oakland’s Great Wall this year. Now, thanks to the efforts of two long-time cat advocates, Oakland may be the home to North America’s first Cat Café.
